Date: Sun 15.December
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)

This could be an interesting match as AR São Martinho have their presumed home advantage while Fafe are ahead 14 points in the 2. Division: Group A table.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Fafe have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 3-1-2 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.
